|
| if it isn't too much work:
| please add an optional parameter to rocksndiamonds : leveldir.
| that way everyone can setup his own repository of level files,
| can give other users permission to play them (or not).
It will be in the next release.
| my main concern is :
| - it must not be necessary to write somethin in /usr
OK
| - don't bloat /var
| (i have 60 machines with common /usr and standalone /var).
Well, the levelfiles are quite small. They do add up to a
respectable amount, though:
[olet@apollo] ~> du -s -b /var/lib/games/rocksndiamonds
274149 /var/lib/games/rocksndiamonds
/var would be the natural place. I don't see any other
place they could go.
| - try to find a solution, where users can't damage anything,
| but sysadmin work is not required for extra functionality.
| (sysadmins neither liek to fix gama data files nor fiddle around with
| groups, only because some user wrote a new level).
|
| if a game causes work or has some impact on the filesystem,
| most admins will deinstall it.
| (yes, this only matters for multi-user-machines, not for home users).
I'll do my best :-)
